There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Binocular rivalry—the alternations in perception that occur when different images are
presented to the two eyes—has been the subject of intensive investigation for more than 160 …

Traditional explanations of multistable visual phenomena (eg ambiguous figures, perceptual
rivalry) suggest that the basis for spontaneous reversals in perception lies in antagonistic …

During binocular rivalry, conflicting monocular images compete for access to consciousness
in a stochastic, dynamical fashion. Recent human neuroimaging and psychophysical studies …

Binocular rivalry occurs when the eyes are presented with different stimuli and subjective
perception alternates between them. Though recent years have seen a number of models of …

When two dissimilar stimuli are presented to the eyes, perception alternates between
multiple interpretations, a phenomenon dubbed binocular rivalry. Numerous recent imaging …

The thalamus is classically viewed as passively relaying information to the cortex. However,
there is growing evidence that the thalamus actively regulates information transmission to …

This joint article reflects the authors' personal views regarding noteworthy advances in the
neuroscience of consciousness in the last 10 years, and suggests what we feel may be …

Spatial attention is comprised of neural mechanisms that boost sensory processing at a
behaviorally relevant location while filtering out competing information. The present review …

The continuities between human and animal minds are increasingly well understood. This
has led many people to make claims about consciousness in animals, which has often been …
